Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

[eagle-eye]

Incredibil cum jocul asta devine din ce in ce mai bun, cred ca am peste 40 de ore in el si tot ce vreau e sa-l joc in continuare, nici nu-mi aduc aminte ultima oara cand am jucat cu atata dorinta un joc, posibil sa fi fost Witcher 3 sau nici ala. Povestea devine din ce in ce mai buna, inamicii cu tot felul de crazy attack patterns de ma obliga sa-mi optimizez cat de bine pot buildurile (deja am vreo 20 de pictos pe mine, cand dau un counterattack se activeaza vreo 10, zici ca joc Balatro, popeaza numere in stanga si in dreapta) ca sunt multi bossi care dau one shot in stadiul asta. Exploratul e rewarding (combinatia de Elden Ring si God of War e sublima, foarte satsifacatoare), personajele sunt in continuare jucate majestic, momente funny, momente triste, lore-ul e bogat si dezvoltat

Sustin cu tarie ca e unul din cele mai bune jocuri pe care le-am jucat vreodata, top 10 daca nu chiar top 5.

Posibil sa fie GOTY anul asta mai ales ca GTA a fost amanat.

Subscriu, cred ca sunt aproape de finalul povestii si in continuare totul este a state of art.
Ok, poate povesti mai bune au mai fost, poate grafica mai buna a mai fost, poate (desi nu cred) character development la acest nivel am mai intalnit, dar niciodata toate impreuna intr-un singur pachet! E foarte greu sa te mai apropii de orice altceva dupa jocul asta!

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33: How the 'Game of the Year' was made:

"Bored in their job and wanting to do something different." Working for French gaming giant Ubisoft at the time, he had an idea for his own project - a role-playing game inspired by one of his childhood favourites, the classic Japanese series Final Fantasy. [...]

So, five years ago, he started to recruit people for his passion project, firing out messages on Reddit and online forums to potential colleagues. [...]

One of those who responded was Jennifer Svedberg-Yen, who was under lockdown in Australia at the time. "I saw a post on Reddit by Guillaume asking for voice actors to record something for free for a demo," she says. "I was like: 'I've never done that, it sounds kinda cool', so I sent him an audition." Jennifer was originally cast as a major character in an early version of the game, but eventually switched roles to become the team's lead writer. [...]

After securing funding from publisher Kepler Interactive, the core team grew to about 30 people. [...]

Composer Lorien Testard - who had never worked on a video game before - was discovered via posts on music-sharing website Soundcloud. [...]

"I call this the Guillaume effect. He's very good at finding really cool people," says Jennifer. Guillaume more modestly attributes his success rate to Covid - people looking for a creative outlet - and also "massive luck". "It's always the same story," he says. "I have a list of 15 people to contact and I'm like: 'Okay I'm probably going to get maybe no one at all'. "And every time the first one is like: 'Yeah, let's do it'."[...]

Having the backing of Kepler allowed the studio to attract actors including Daredevil's Charlie Cox, Lord of the Rings star Andy Serkis, and video game actors Jennifer English and Ben Starr. [...]

Former Ubisoft director, Clair Obscur maker slams AAA dev bloat: "It would've taken 25 years" to make my game https://www.techspot.com/news/107837...t-wouldve.html

"It's easy to use Ubisoft as a whipping post, especially considering Broche's remarks, but this problem isn't unique to the French developer. Nearly every AAA studio has fallen into the same rut, treating microtransactions, season passes, and price hikes as the only solutions to declining revenue while ignoring the real issue: a growing lack of innovation.

If the industry doesn't change course, it will face a crash similar to 1983, with only indie studios surviving. The signs are already visible: players reject inflated prices and formulaic designs by playing their backlogs and waiting for sales. The days of blindly throwing money at games offering little in return have ended. If developers don't take risks and embrace new ideas, they'll face a market that no longer accepts their stale approach."

Exact asta sunt eu: "huge backlog and waiting for sales". Totusi am facut precomanda la Clair Obscur si nici pana acum nu s-a livrat. Au fost luati si ei prin surprindere cu ce succes au.

[Srachi]

Ce joc ii ăsta? M-am uitat la ceva gameplay si nu înțeleg ce se întâmplă acolo, zici că joacă șah loool.

[Espiritus]

Seamana cu sahul in sensul ca ambele sunt turn based si se adreseaza jucatorilor care au mai mult attention span decat o gaina de curte. Nu-i de mine si pare ca nici de tine nu-i.

La fel si la mine, la ce backlog am pe PC si console nu ar trebui sa mai cumpar jocuri noi nici la reducere, de pret intreg nici nu se mai pune problema. Din partea mea marile studiouri cu titluri "AAA" neterminate si pline de buguri pot sa faca jocurile si 200 de euro eu nu o sa mai cumpar.

Pentru Clair Obscur trebuie sa fac o exceptie, e prea bun.

Am terminat aseara main story. Nu exista cuvinte sa exprime cat de buna e povestea si cat de fitting sunt endingurile (da, sunt doua variante), cred ca e printre cele mai bune narative pe care le-am trait vreodata intr-un joc. Chiar nu ma asteptam sa se duca in directia in care s-a dus, m-a surprins la fiecare sfarsit de act, un emotional rollercoaster cum n-am mai vazut. Mai am un pic si ii fac platina, mai am un singur boss de batut (care e al naibii rau). Daca as avea ceva de reprosat acum pe final e ca devine prea usor, am facut atat side content ca atunci cand m-am batut cu final story boss i-am dat one shot , cred ca cel mai mult am dat ~10 milioane damage intr-o lovitura dar nici n-am stat sa optimizez buildul sau sa farmez, am jucat normal.

Oricum, per total e unul din cele mai bune jocuri jucate vreodata, un adevarat clasic in devenire care sunt 100% convins ca o sa fie mentionat ani de-a randul in viitor. Abia astept DLC acum, am jucat per total vreo 50-60 de ore si as mai juca lejer inca atat, pur si simplu nu a devenit plictisitor sau repetitiv in absolut niciun moment.
